Aberrant RPG Mega-Attribute Enhancement: Void Sense (Mega-Perception)
Baseline humans are a product of their environment - and one thing that nearly all of them require in order to function psychologically in a microgravity environment is a local vertical. Without something to orient themselves to, untrained baselines (and many novas) become hopelessly disoriented, nauseated and terrified before losing control of their body functions. For most, only astronautics training can alleviate this. Mega-Perceptive novas with this enhancement have no such troubles. Much like Adaptability lets a nova survive without air, food and water; this enhancement lets the nova adapt mentally to a truly three-dimensional environment without any applicable "up" or "down". While novas don't actually need this enhancement to operate in space - those with the Adaptability enhancement manage well enough - they'll never do as well as a nova with Void Sense.

System: The nova gains + 3 automatic successes on any rolls involving space navigation or maneuvering in microgravity or other environments where there's no real "up or down". He also doesn't suffer any penalties that result from not having a local vertical to orient himself with, and is wholly immune to vertigo.
This enhancement is always on and costs no quantum points to use.
